Project Server 2007 – What happens when a Project Plan is saved?

Here’s a brief overview of what happens at various stages through a project plans’ lifecycle on Project Server 2007:

• When a project manager saves a draft plan, the draft plan is saved to the draft Project Server database.
• When the project plan is published it is saved to the publishing Project Server database and is also written to Project Server’s reporting database.
• Members of the project team make updates to the plan and save their changes, these changes are saved in Project Server’s draft database (pending approval from the PM before being published)
• The PM accepts the team’s updates and changes and publishes the plan, the approved changes only are written to the publishing and reporting databases
• The plan is available for view to others via Project Server’s Project Centre.
